But when I fall 

Oh yeah?  what if it's someone elderly that breaks bones and doesn't get over it. Or what if it's someone that hurts themselves so badly that they can't walk again and ends up in a wheelchair or something like that.   You really have no compassion do you?   

Come on Sprout, you know fine well that wasn’t the sort of fall Sainty was referring to.

But when I fall 

I make a habit of falling on my backside when it’s icy.

My family think it’s hilarious  but I don’t find a bruised bum and hurt pride quite so funny.

 My best one was when I was at uni ...got off the bus in the snow and decided,  instead of walking round the path , to take a short cut  down a steep grass bank ....of course I went base over apex  Students came running from all directions ....talk about embarrassed ....my knees were a right mess , but as we do , in true Brit fashion, I shrugged it off and said I was fine I managed to make it the two hundred yards to my office before collapsing in a heap

That reminds me of the time I tried to run down the escalator in Glasgow Central Station and ended up in a heap at the bottom.  I’ve never got up so fast in my life.

When I think of the number of times I’ve fallen down over the years, I realise I’m incredibly clumsy. Quite a few times, it has been ice/snow related but other times have been my own stupidity

 So sorry to hear this, Cinds. The hardest thing about owning a dog is saying goodbye to them. 

 Angus had a great life with you and you did what was best for him.

Awww no. *Echoes what Yogi said*   That's the second one I've heard of today

Better to have loved and lost

But it's still the most heart breaking experience
